Line 38:

[[:User:Clarityfiend]] has removed the table showing the 'Itinerary of Miss Webster's Journey to Isle of Kiloran' on the grounds that "that level of detail is only suitable for a bus or train route". I would suggest that in the context of this section it is appropriate, because the 'Itinerary' is a central plot device in the film. It is featured prominently on screen, (where the details of the table are taken from) and in voiceover, during her train journey; it also features in the scene at Port Erraig quay when Miss Webster is waiting to be met by the motor launch from Kiloran, where it is blown from her hands into the sea to symbolise the frustration of her carefully planned future. Significantly, the whole of the 'Itinerary' is factual, referring to real places, stations, and services (even the name of the ferry to Tobermory is accurate), right up until the last entry where the fictional Port Erraig and Kiloran, are substituted for the real-life Carsaig and Colonsay. This is also symbolic of the transition from the 'real' world into the romantic fantasy of the rest of the film. So I would argue that including the 'Itinerary' as a table to illustrate the plot section is appropriate and aids understanding of the film.

:I've re-jigged the distorted layout this was causing, but it's not an endorsement: I'm with User:Clarityfiend on this.--[[User:Old Moonraker|Old Moonraker]] ([[User talk:Old Moonraker|talk]]) 14:42, 7 January 2010 (UTC)

I too do not support its inclusion. This is too much detail considering her journey north only takes place briefly near the start and the bulk of the film takes place in fictional locations. I am not sure all details can be found in the film. Some details from this could be incorporated in the article in normal prose.
